Why did you think that?

Yes, I think you assumption is very much incorrect.  I see no
particular reason why regular expressions should be somehow tied to
the Unix world.

Anyway, when the Linux version was still available, more than 95% of
all downloaders opted for the Windows version.  And virtually all
feedback I ever received from Linux users was complaints about the
program not being open source.  I finally figured that there are
better ways to waste my time.

Cheers,
